Overview
I’m a geoscientist passionate about unraveling the mysteries of the seismic cycle on active faults. My work focuses on developing and implementing numerical models to explain seismic activity in natural faults, with a especial interest into building gaps between geological and geophysical obersvations.

Biography
Lic. Geology, Universidad de Concepcion, Chile, 2011-2019
PhD. Geological Sciences, Universidad de Concepcion, Chile, 2020-2024
During my PhD, I investigated the role of the geological structure on the seismic cycle at the Chilean subduction zone. I implemented numerical models constrained by an extensive amount of geological and geophysical data.
Research Associate, Cardiff University, Wales, 2024-present.
I work in the project ASPERITY, which is focused into understand the processes related with earthquake nucleation at faults, from a microscale (outcrop) up to a regional (plate tectonics) perspective.
